Culturally-Inspired Patterns and Motifs

BRAC provided invaluable guidance and feedback on color palettes, patterns, and symbols. That helped kick start our visual research into the colors, shapes, patterns, and visual cues seen in day-to-day life for people in Bangladesh, Jordan, and Lebanon.

Pulling inspiration from architecture, textiles, and botanicals, we created fun and energetic visuals that engage children and complement the existing Sesame Workshop brand guidelines.
